I regret that I wasn't there for this incident, but I was around my unit taking care of some administrative stuff so I heard all about it.
We were hosting a combatives (Army hand-to-hand combat, heavily based on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) class, and one of the the instructors who came in was a female soldier who was motivated to prove that gender is irrelevant to good soldiering. One of the students, our guys, was former Infantry before coming back into the reserves into Civil Affairs, and had been part of the initial Iraqi invasion.
From what I remember of the story, it went a little like this: the instructors were going one on one with more advanced techniques, and the following ensued:
Former 11B: "I got a CIB, bitch!" (Combat Infantryman Badge, prestigious award for infantry who face direct combat)
Instructor: "I don't give a fuck!"
She proceeded to whoop his ass within the limitations of the techniques they were working on, haha. He claimed to have a cracked rib and decided to stop showing up to the class... heh.
